What started off as a really rough day at the tables ended up being a great one. I started the day off donking off 3 Buy-ins really quick with hands where I felt like gamboling a bit like so:

I took a little break because I was playing bad and when I came back I got coolered right away lol:

Not much I can do there. Eventually though the fish started to pay off my big hands and I really turned the day around and ended up +5 buy-ins which felt great. Here are a few of those hands that helped me turned the day around

I was actually a little nervous about this 3 bet because he was basically representing the straight with QJ. I thought he might be doing this with 2 pair as well but it turns out he was way behind and I made the right move there.

Im really glad I managed to turn it around today becasue it sucks to be playing out of a hole. Its weird adjusting to the swings you go through when you move up limits. Before I would never see a $100 downswing playing NL10 and NL5 because thats 10+ buyins at those levels but now that Im at NL25 its only 4 buy-ins which is totally standard to be losing. Thats where bankroll comes into play and Im really glad that I am a bankroll nit for this reason lol.

Here's the graph for the day:

I play a few tournies today as well. I played in a 5k Garuntee that had over 4000 ppl in it and I ended up placing 458 for an amazing $5 lol. I wish I could take one of those down but a lot bigger. Thinking this I decided to try and qualify for some of the bigger tournies Pokerstars offers. So I played a few FPP satellites and managed to get a seat in the Million Dollar Turbo take down which happens next Sunday. 100k for 1st place. Fuck that would be sweet to win lol. Since you cant unregister for it when you qualify through a satellite (not like I would get money if I did... its only 5k FPP to play) I guess Im going to play in it. I dont play a lot of Turbos so it should be interesting.

Probably wont get in many hands this weekend since Im gonna do some partying. Its a friend of mine birthday and shes havin a huge bash for it. Should be a great night out. Hopefully I get a few stories for you guys come Monday.

Im out thought folks
